Diskussjoni:Jum l-Indipendenza (Malta)

You write 'Malta saret nazzjon ħieles u sovran'

By definitions of Statehood and Sovreignty this is not correct!

I'm not even sure if Sovreignty is the case in 1974

I cite US Department of State:

Under its 1964 constitution, Malta became a parliamentary democracy within the Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth II was sovereign of Malta, and a governor general exercised executive authority on her behalf, while the actual direction and control of the government and the nation's affairs were in the hands of the cabinet under the leadership of a Maltese prime minister.

On December 13, 1974, the constitution was revised, and Malta became a republic within the Commonwealth, with executive authority vested in a Maltese president. The president is appointed by parliament. In turn, he appoints as prime minister the leader of the party with a majority of seats in the unicameral House of Representatives.

Thanks for pointing that out Joe. I haven't had the chance to revise these articles (ie. the ones about Maltese national holidays) yet. Thanks a lot! --Roderick Mallia 11:32, 5 Settembru 2005 (UTC)
